Algebra.Com's Answer #140759 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One end of a line segment is (1,-2). If the midpoint of the segment is (4,3), find the coordinate of the other endpoint of the segment. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The coordinates of the mid-point are the average of the coordinates \n" ); document.write( "of the endpoints. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Let the other endpoint be (x,y) \n" ); document.write( "Equations: \n" ); document.write( "(x+1)/2 = 4 \n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 8 \n" ); document.write( "x = 7 \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "(y+-2)/2 = 3 \n" ); document.write( "y-2 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "y = 8 \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "The other endpoint is (7,8) \n" ); document.write( "================================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
